My thinking is heavily influenced by Austrian,
Monetarist and Public Choice economics. Austrian economics teaches us the importance of first principles,
spontaneous order, unintended consequences and the pitfalls of interventionist policies. Monetarism teaches us the importance of the Quantity Theory of Money and the limitations of Keynesian
macroeconomics. Public Choice economics teaches us to see policy issues in terms of underlying vested interests, including those of public agencies such as central banks and regulatory agencies.
An underlying theme of my work is the importance of institutional arrangements, respect for the rule of law and
skepticism about policies that rely on the wisdom of policymakers' discretion or ability to forecast the future.
